Integrity: This is not only the most important but the most common trait of the Forest Service man. It means plain honesty, reliability, truthfulness and clean habits. Indifference, no matter how well veneered with ability and culture have never gotten very far for long . A Forest Rang e r must be honourab le in all his dealings, whether with the public, his superior officers, or his fellow Ranger s. A Forest Range r is out of place in the great and important work in which the Forest Service of the province is eng aged unless he can co mmand the respect of those with whom he co mes in contact.

Loya lty: Loyalty is the spirit which puts the organization and its ideals above the man, that recognizes the absolute need for co-operation and discipline, but which will not hesitate to incur disfavour if clearly necessary for the vital good of the service. Constructive criticism is the chief method of building up the service, and this is a fact recogn ized by all progressive leaders.
19
Hardiness: The work of a Rang e r demands a rugg ed phy sique and enjoyment of physical hardship. Courage: A timid man can accomplish little, but an overbearing and officious Rang e r can do more harm than good .
Public Service: The strength of the service lies wholly in the fact that its ideals are to give the greatest possible service, regardless of personal inconvenience or ha rdship. To do this men of high moral character must be secured and retained.
